NORTHWESTERN SUFFERS DEFEAT H .1 Chicago, Feb. 17.—(U.PJr -The Big i j Ten basketball race took on new , interest today as a result of the ] first defeat of the season for NorthI western and the unexpected , strength shown last night by Ulin ois, Chicago, and lowa, three second division teams. ■ | Illinois upset Northwestern at . Evanston, 35-28, and broke Northwestern's winning streak which l had extended to 12 straight, seven iof them in the conference. Leading all the way. Illinois outplayed Northwestern in every department ’ of the game. ~ Minnesota wrested a hard-fought 30-26 victory from Purdue at Min I neapolis, and gained a full game on Notthwestern. With the Goph'lers only a game behind the Wildcats, the race may yet see a flying finish as Northwestern lias a game ] left with Minnesota at Minneapolis. In the two other games last night ]the underdogs came through victorious, Chicago defeating Ohio State, 26-25, and lowa nosing out j Wisconsin, 19-17. Both games | were thrillers, being decided on J free throws after the gun had been fired. Northwestern's defeat was largely the result of the sensational play |of Eddie Kamp, slim, elusive Illin- ; ois forward, who scored 15 points I for his team, making six field l goals. Joe Reiff. Northwestern's sophomore forward and leading scorer of the Big Ten, also made 15 points, but seven of them were on free throws. Reiff was the only Northwestern player who scored more than one field goal. Illinois' stout defense in the first half eld Northwestern to two field goals, and but for free throws made by the Wildcats the league leaders would have been put to rout. Illinois led at half-time, 17-11. Two points behind and two seconds left to play. Chicago came from behind to defeat Ohio State when Ashley. Maroons' guard, shot a field goal to tie the score. In ] making the goal Ashley was foul- : 'd, aid he stepped to the freethrow line and sank the winning ; point. With tlie score- tied. 17-17, Repholtz, Wisconsin guard, committed a personal foul on Chuck WilliamI son. lowa forward, who made both throws good to give the Hawkeyes I their victory. 0 VETERAN’S LOAN BILL PASSED BY HOUSE i CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I representatives to any legislation. Only 29 Republicans stood by i President Hoover late yesterday in I one of the most startling reversals I giving administration house forces lin years. Senate advocates of the bill met it today with every intention of hurrying it through, possibly with an even greater endorsement. The house vote was 368 to 39, all negative votes being ♦ publican. Senate Majority Leader Watson said today he thought there should be hearings on the bill, but in the same breath he admitted there is no chance to defeat it. The senate might modify it, he said, and he was speaking of modifying it downward, but indications were that if it is modified, it would be to make its terms still more liberal. The measure as passed by the house increases the loan limit on I adjusted service certificates to 50 per cent, of the full matured value and fixes a fiat four-and a half per cent, interest rate on certificate loans. “I think there should be hearings before the finance committee,” Watson said. “No one had ever seen this bill before it was hurriedly voted from the house ways and means committee. Those who opposed it in the house had only 20 minutes to discuss it." Advocates of the bill in the senate, however, have served notice they will not permit any hearings. They are willing to permit Secretary of Treasury Mellon to appear Wednesday to present his views, as suggested by Watson, but will consent to no undue delay. Their intention is to report the bill out on that day, with the probability of senate action before the end of the week. During the last few days, there has been a crystallisation of senti666 LIQUID or TABLETS Cure Colds, Headaches, Fever 6 6 6 SALVE CURES BABY’S COLD

ment in the senate behind the I house bill, possibly with u reilucIlion of the interest rate to four per cent. The idea is to pass the bill in its present form so there will be no occasion for delay. Senator t'oiizens. Repo., Mich., originally an advocate of a cash bonus, now is for tile house bill with possibly a reduction in the Interest rate. Those who feared delay and a pocket veto by President Hoover were reassured tislay by reports the chief executive hud no intention of giving tlie measure a poek? et veto but would act promptly, thus giving congress a chance to pass it over his veto. The desertion of 214 house Republicans who joined Democrats in the hilarious stampede for the bill yesterday was the subject of live ly gossip about the capitol today. It was discussed in connection with the administration’s previous firm hold on the house, and specifically in connection with a possible veto. The huge vote for the bill generally was taken as proof the house would pass the measure over a veto almost as easily as it passed the bill yesterday. The vote was larger than that given the original adjusted service act in 1924, when the house voted 355 to 54. In passing the original act over President Coolidge’s veto the house voted 313 to 78. Passage of the bill was a personal victory for Speaker Longworth. who helped to draft it and then brought it before the house over the opposition of his own house leader as well as the administration. Longworth's action attracted much attention because of his staunch backing of the administration hitherto in all its major fights with the senate. During the incessant repetition of “ayes” as the roll was called, Majority Leader Tilson, who sided with Mellon in opposing the bill, sat slumped down in his place, his face glum Tilson did not speak against the bill, but Chairman Hawley of the house ways and means committee, who also opposed the measure, made a brief speech at the close of debate. Two women republicans voted with the administration. Mrs. Ruth Pratt, New York, and Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Massachusetts. The scene was the most dramatic this session, with the galleries packed and at one point applauding until Longworth warned that applause from the galleries is not permitted. REPUBLICANS PROPOSE PLAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) appare"*’v are democratic, with the third, sevenin and eighth regarded as doubtful. One of the unusual features of t„? plan is the unusualy large districts in several sections of the state. The southern half of the I state would be divided into five | districts including the one in Marion county. Northern Indiana would be divided into six districts. The set-up is as follows. First —Lake. Second — Benton, Carroll, Cass, Fulton, Jasper, Kosciusko, Marshall, Miami, Benton, Porter, Pulaski, Starke, Tippecanoe, Warren, and White. Fourth —Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, and Whitley. Fifth—Adams, Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Jay, Madison, Randoph, and Wells. Sixth, —Boone, Clinton, Fountain, Hamilton, Hendricks, Howard. Montgomery and Tipton, and the townships of Decatur, ijawrence. Pike, Washington and Wayne in Marion county. , Seventh—Clay, Greene, Monroe, | Morgan, Owen, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo. Ninth —Bartholowew, Brown, Decatur, Fayette, Franklin, Hancock, Henry, Johnson, Rush, Shelby, Union and Wayne, and the townships of Franklin, Perry and Warren in Marion county. Tenth —Clark. Crawford. Dearborn, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Lawrence, Martin, Ohio, Orange, Perry, Ripley, Scott, Switzerland and Washington. Eleventh — Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Knox, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburg, and Warrick. The Democratic plan for re-dis-tricting the state into 12 districts has been introduced in the house of representatives but has been looked up on with disfavor by republicans. o Charles Farrell, Bride Sail For Europe New York, Feb. 17 —(U.R> —Charles Farrell and his bride, the former Virginia Valli, are scheduled to sail tonight on N. G. L. liner Augustus for Genoa and Naples on a three-month honeymoon. Farrell is 26, and his bride 36. The film star’s secret marriage early Saturday morning in the home of the Rev. Ralph M. Houston, pastor of the First M. church, Yonkers, N. Y, became known as news of the honeymoon booking leaked out.

POSTAL DEFICIT MAKES INCREASE NECESSARY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I commission a request for approval] of increased parcel [smt nites. , Brown, at u conference yester- 1 I day with air mall operators, warn]ed that airmail rates would have | to be readjusted and better service | provided in view of the mounting postal deficit. He outlined a num- 1 i ls-r of suggestions for improved; airmail service, which were taken ; under advisement by a special committee of the operators. Among his suggestions were for increased plane speed, better scheduled flying and greater development of passenger business. o — — NAME WILL BE PRESENTED AT DISTRICT MEET I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEI — . ~ . — | 35 members from the southern part of the county, who were aecom- i panied here by Ernest Stengle. | Berne, first vice-commander of Ad-1 ams Post.

The attack was led by Cecil J. Kistler, republican. Elkhart, who, offered six amendments, all of, i which were tabled in rapid success-] ion. Both bills were democratic plat-!’ form pledges. They were ordered' engrossed last night and will be 1; up for final action today, as Speaker Walter Myers is as anxious that | they be placed before the senate j as early as possible. As the bills stand, all single per-' sons would be allowed an exemption of $1,500, and married persons $3,500, with S4OO additional for, each dependent. As first drawn,' the exemption was SI,OOO and $2,-' 000, but this was raised in spite of republicans, who contended that the higher exemptions would not produce sufficient revenue. Democrats look to these measures as their greatest hope for relieving the tax burden on real estate. They would net the state half the amount collected by the Federal income tax, which amounted to $23,000,000 in the state last year. The senate today was scheduled to continue debate on the Hartzell bill to tax property of fraternal organiations. The measure was call-: ed down on second reading late: yesterday afternoon and the sen-

Re-] publican, Portland, and Earl Row ] ley, Republican, Laporte. The I former contended that the measure would cause the closing of at least, three-fourths of the sectarian col-] (leges In the state. Rowley held that terms of the bill would place, an additional burden on the bulk of the residents of the state who were striving to send their children through college. Arguments during the afternoon session were heated. The first bill; to atouse a flood of oratory was] the Drake-Rowley measure which the senate finally advanced by adopting a minority committee re port. The bill would limit aggregate local taxes on property to $1.75 per $lO9 of taxable property. Another fight occurred over tlie AUdredgi-Perkins measure amending the primary law. Senator Nejdl charged it would undo the progress made in tlie 1929 session toward abolition of the primary system, and place the state on the 1915 basis. Floor Leader Hartzell supported the bill vigorously, but was unable to obtain enough republican support to prevent its defeat. Senators also voted to kill a measure providing for pe manent voters registration. One of tne most intense fights of the session arose over a measure intended to enlarge authority of the secretary of state in employing state police for regulation of bus and truck traffic. Its chief opponent was a democrat. Senator Ira Clouser, Crawfordsville, who argued that such a bill would “Impose on the state an army of unnecessary men." He referred to the state police as “ornaments on our state highways." The meas[lire was advanced after the senate adopted an amendment striking out the section providing that the secretary of state could employ additional police. Without argument, "ae senate ‘killed tho ;;..:mee bill providing for unemployment insurance. o Stork’* Poor Judgment Speaking of teamwork we've no Heed that It's usually Hie case when a family is fighting to keep the wolf from the <!<>or that the stork takes the opportunity to slip down lhe chimney—Ohio Stat“ Journal
